Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

For Preparation

  • Butter or nonstick spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to ensure the bake does not stick.
  2. Blend Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the blended mixture using a spatula to avoid breaking the berries and maintain their shape.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Pour the blueberry mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface for baking.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and the edges turn golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes to let it set further before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh blueberries, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained.
  • The lemon zest and juice can be adjusted according to your taste preference for more or less tartness.
  • Make sure not to overblend the blueberries to keep their texture intact.
  • This bake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds before serving.
